As embarrassing as it is to admit, I never appreciated that there is a difference between a C compiler, and C++, I assumed gcc would provide it and was wrong.
So, when I went back to the beginning previously it was because I got confused about the folder permissions. I created the user lfs, gave ownership of /sources and /tools to lfs. Lastly we did a 'su - lfs' to switch to the lfs user; echo $LFS; response /mnt/lfs..... I was careful to follow all steps through to the GCC 'make' - without exiting that session. Everything actually worked this time. Now I find-out that g++ is not on my system, and thus c++. I install the program and decide to remove the ../gcc-build folder to reconfigure gcc from that point forward. I have switched back to the $lfs user but when I: mkdir -v ../gcc-build I find that I now do not have permission; "permission denied". I checked the folder permissions - the owner is lfs, but the group is root. If I am the owner, why no permission? This is what got me turned around previously. This time I thought I would ask, why this occurs. Before I start making changes. Yes, I am doing an 'echo $LFS', regularly.
